SASAD CONGRESS 2011

(Tap expert Pascal Hulin)

The South African Society for the Advancement of Dancing (SASAD will host the exciting Dance Congress in April 2011 where a wonderful and talented group of dance tutors will be coming to Durban to give top quality classes to all those interested.

The dance genres include: classical ballet, hip hop, jazz, contemporary, pilates, musical theatre, tap and musical theatre tapping. There are also real live classical ballet pianists (instead of CD’s) for the ballet classes which makes the dance classes more authentic and enjoyable for the dancers.

The dance tutors include Andri Marais (Durban), Brigitte Reeve (Cape Town), Celeste Botha (Cape Town), Dianne Cheesman (Cape Town), Denise Schultze (Cape Town), Duane Alexander (Cape Town), Craig Bullock (Johannesburg), and Pascal Hulin (Germany).

Local talented pianists are Eirene Candy and Jill Davidson who are kept busy playing all over South Africa for Cecchetti and RAD ballet exams.

The Dance Congress will be held from the April 4 to 7 in the school holidays at Danville Park Girls High School. Dancers and teachers from all over South Africa will be attending. Over these four days, dancers and teachers have the opportunity in taking part in nine classes a day of dance.

Those interested in attending the Dance Congress, should contact the SASAD office on Tel/Fax 031 303 8737 or email info@sasad.org.za
